the kindness and unselfishness of our
late friend and benefactor, George B.
Harrison. His was a splendid char-acter,
and a life devoted to the highest
N every college and univer-sity,
exercises of some kind
are held each day, in order
to bring the students and
faculty together for worship, or sim-ply
for mutual benefit. This is almost
the only time, in a great many institu-tions,
when instructors and instructed
meet. The rule for attendance at
chapel varies everywhere, but, speak-ing
broadly, the students are required
to be present, and cuts count nearly as
much as recitation absences. The ma-jority
of students welcome the chapel
hour, and rarely miss taking part in it.
Of course there are some who would
not go unless there was some require-ment,
so, generally, a student's pres-ence
or absence is not an indication of
his attitude towards chapel exercises.
But how is it with the faculty?
With its members no rule is made in
regard to attendance, and we often
wonder if a professor's frequent absen-ces
show his attitude toward the ser-vices,
or whether circumstances prevent
his coming. And so, on the other hand,
we wonder if the one who is always
present is more zealous in his worship
and more interested in the student
body.
This week occurred the anniversary
of the birthday of a man whose energy,
and application to everything he under-took,
should be an example to every
student. Abraham Lincoln had to toil,
all alone and under the most distress-ing
circumstances, for every bit of the
education and culture which he pos-sessed.
He had to struggle along with-out
any aid and with no advantages,
and yet, by his pluck and zeal,- he
succeeded. How much more should
we succeed, with all the advantages we
have, with every path of learning made
smooth for our feet! But few of us
work enough, or as diligently as we
should, and we let the most brilliant
opportunities slip by without making
an effort to improve them. We can
not all be Abraham Lincolns, but we
can at least do our best.
